    Rickets is a bone disorder that affects children and adolescents, causing their bones to not develop properly due to a lack of vitamin D. This can result in weak and fragile bones that are prone to fractures, bone and muscle pain, and severe deformities. Signs include delayed growth, back and leg pain, and muscle weakness, while symptoms include bowed or knock knees, thickened wrists and ankles, and breastbone protrusion. Rickets can be managed by ensuring adequate vitamin D, calcium, and phosphorus intake through foods like milk, eggs, and fish or sun exposure, as vitamin D helps the body absorb these nutrients to build strong bones.
